Canadian Seamen's Union

The Canadian Seaman's Union was a trade union in Canada which organized among sailors.[1] Affiliated with the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, it was established in 1936 and gained prominence during World War II. After the war, it was red-baited and crushed by opposition from the Canadian government, shipping companies, and the Seafarers' International Union.[2][3][4][5]
